Sam Turner's tips: All the best bets for Friday, January 24

PRINCE OF BURMA (Lingfield, nap 1.00), just touched off in handicap company at the track last time out, looks the day’s best bet having been dropped to claiming company by trainer David Evans.

The six-year-old has a decent track record with two wins and four placed efforts from 13 starts at the venue.

He went close to improving that list when finishing with his customary flourish to grab third behind in-form Tee It Up Tommo over a mile earlier this month.

Trainer David Evans has been in flying form all winter

Evans drops Prince Of Burma back to seven furlongs for this run but the gelding is equally effective at the shorter distance and he has put the mount of Nicky Mackay in the race on a favourable weight.

Compton Silver (Wolverhampton, nb, 6.30) has switched trainers and dropped plenty in the handicap. His record is modest but he almost returned to winning ways with a game front-running effort here on Monday when third to Reggie Bond.

Trainer Paul Ftizsimmons has again booked top jockey Luke Morris and if he repeats the run in this arguably weaker race it should be good enough.

If Huntingdon passes its morning inspection, Bajan Blu (Huntingdon, 12.50) is an interesting raider from Wales having shown some promise in his last two novice hurdles.

There is a better quality card at Doncaster where Dubai Prince (Doncaster, 1.40) is worth another chance after his blow out at Kempton on Boxing day.

He takes on an interesting fellow recruit from the Flat in Area Fifty One but, overall, this is a weaker contest.

The John Ferguson-trained gelding, who
was a classy group three winner on the Flat, had previously looked quite
impressive when winning on his jumping debut at Leicester.Hopefully,
the ground will not be as testing at Doncaster as it was at Kempton as
that was probably the reason for his demise.

Dubai Prince made a hugely encouraging debut over hurdles at Leicester in November
